This is an introductory course for non-physics major students who want to learn some basic principles of quantum mechanics. We plan to approach these concepts by relating them to human experience in everyday life. The course is designed with a lot of demonstrations, in many of which the students play a role of either quantum objects or the observers. The course is conceptual and the use of mathematics is limited to bare minimum. We plan to cover: Properties of waves, Double-slit diffraction experiment, Particle in a box and quantization of states, Heisenbergs uncertainty principle, Pauli principle and how to build an atom, the birth of new particles and the birth of the universe.

This is an introductory course for non-physics major students who want to learn some basic principles of quantum mechanics. We plan to approach these concepts by relating them to human experience in everyday life. The course is designed with a lot of demonstrations, in many of which the students play a role of either quantum objects or the observers. The course is conceptual and the use of mathematics is limited to bare minimum. We plan to cover: Properties of waves, Double-slit diffraction experiment, Particle in a box and quantization of states, Heisenbergs uncertainty principle, Pauli principle and how to build an atom, the birth of new particles and the birth of the universe. |
